policy of persecution towards soI
called violators of the crimes
act to the bitter end at all hail
ards. 1t is nothing more nor less thani
absolute personal persecution, and fromi

it becomes evident that the bold andt
patriotic leaders of the Irish can expect
no relief from the troubles forced aponi
them by their enemies. except in theiri
own Iortltude and strength, or else in an
UPRISING OF THE PEOPLE
